I hard wired in some Anderson power pole disconnects for my air compressor (or whatever).
I have the ubiquitous smittybilt 2781, and always felt nervous having the alligator clips wobbling on the battery. Guess it’s not a big deal but it bothered me.
Plus, this bought me another few feet. Ordered a custom cable through powerwerx with 6gauge wire and 175amp connector.

I couldn’t find the gauge of wiring on the compressor, but since the current draw is up there I decided not to use the 45Amp power pole with 10gauge wire I had already bought and would’ve been way easier, and tbh probably would’ve been fine. To crimp those monster lugs on the smittybilt wire I cut I had to use a vise!

Decided to replace the cheap generic amazon lights on the bumper to kcs. Price wise the amazon were great, bright and cheap but i started noticing some moisture and for the life of me i dont understand why they dont include stainless steel bolts? All the bolts and mounts are rusting. Anyways, these kcs are discontinued but i liked the design.

I needed a new switch panel because i used the 6 on the voswitch jl 300. I was looking at spods but didnt want to spend the money but i came across these! I will post pics once i install them. Can anyone guess where this switch panel goes?

On the top part of the grab handle on the A pillar, they also make an 8 switch for the handle but it runs along the whole handle so if you grabbed it, you can accidently turn on a switch so i passed on those.

These are on my list... Did you go with the sport, pro or max?

Diode Dynamics SS3 LED Fog Lights. Very easy retrofit. These things add daylight to the night. Great floods.

It’s rock hard 4x4 patriot rear bumper for gladiator, yes there’s some heavy duty brackets that bolt to frame and down to sides of the extension to act as bed slider

I have this on my list for the exact same air compressor. I'm planning on routing the Anderson to my bumper so I don't have to open my hood. The number of people who stop to make sure things are okay when I have my hood up airing up tires improves my view on humanity, but I would rather avoid that ;)

Installed my cargo top over the bed, with my Unistrut cross beams, and Unistrut rails (going to kill devil hills this weekend, for a couple of lighthouses, and the Wright brothers museum.) Also took it to the beach for the first time (Fort Fisher). It was a good day.

Installed a Besttop black twill Sunrider convertible top on my 2020 Gladiator Rubicon. Easy installation, other than inserting those annoying z clips. Took about 35 minutes without assistance. Initial impressions are that it fits very nicely, looks quite sharp, operates very efficiently and performs as advertised. Time will tell if it wears well and how long it lasts. Took it for a spin and loved how much quicker and easier it is to retract and close than are freedom panels.

Decided to take a little side trip up the mountain. Well, at least a Michigan mountain. Look close and Mackinaw bridge is about 40 miles in distance. ?

Now I have to go down a Google rabbit hole of researching Michigan

“Were there ever big mountains in Michigan?”

“What’s the geological makeup of the Michigan/Great Lakes region?”

“What does Michigan mean?”

?
